2025 Cowboy Jubilee

The western-themed event will take place at the Equestrian Grand Prix Arena at Galway Downs and will include live music, delicious barbecue, libations, and elite equestrian demonstrations.

TEMECULA – The Nature Education Foundation at the Santa Rosa Plateau is proud to partner with Galway Downs for the 10th Annual Cowboy Jubilee, a signature fundraising event supporting nature education programs for students across Southwest Riverside County.

This year’s “Western and English” themed celebration will be held on Saturday, Sept. 13, 2025, from 5:30 p.m. to 10 p.m., inside the scenic Equestrian Grand Prix Arena at Galway Downs, surrounded by Temecula Valley’s rolling hills, vineyards, and wineries.

The evening blends the best of Western and English horsemanship traditions showcasing their distinct cultures, values, and riding techniques through music, food, language, and a shared work ethic.

Guests will be welcomed with complimentary champagne and treated to a Texas-style BBQ dinner, freshly prepared and served at the Grand Prix Outdoor Pavilion. The night’s entertainment includes special horsemanship demonstrations by the 16-member Copper State Peruvian Paso and the crowd-favorite, 10-member Temecula Cowgirl Drill Team, a two-time Rose Parade team.

Following the equestrian exhibitions, guests will dance the night away to classic country-western hits, including a tribute to Toby Keith, performed by the high-energy James Kelly Band.

The evening also features an open bar, a Poker Run, 50/50 raffle, and exclusive live auctions, including a once-in-a-lifetime private jet flight for four over the Santa Rosa Plateau.
